Motivation toward CALL
Motivation is the most catch-all term for explaining
the success or failure of visually any complex task
about learning language.
(Brown, 2000)

Blog Journals to Learn Writing
The leaner blog can be as journals on writing
practicing for personal expression. Students can have
their own blogs. They are encouraged and also
willing to write frequently.
(Campbell, 2003)

Most of the studies on blog writing describe
cooperative learning in online communicative activities
such as interaction and comments.
(For example, DiGiovanni & Nagaswami, 2001;
Guardado & Shi, 2007; Lee, 2008)
